Part 1: First Steps to Setting Intentions for 2020!

In this episode, we sit down with our teammate Brian Hurst and reflect on 2019 and how to set intentions for 2020 all based upon the foundation of happiness.  We truly believe that the purpose of our existence is to find happiness and that fitness is the foundation.  Today we are discussing the steps we’ll be taking to find our individual “Whys”, what drives us to wake up each day and do what we do, in other words, our purpose?  We need to know our purpose in life because ultimately it is what fills our tank of happiness.

Over the course of this next week we’ll be taking time to write down our 2020 intentions/mission and the daily steps we need to take to level up our happiness.  We list out the 10 areas of life that we will be evaluating (inspired by The Miracle Morning) and we challenge you, our listeners, to do the same and then share with us in the comments what you’ve mapped out for your personal intentions.

Enjoy today’s episode and we’ll see you in a week when we reveal our individual plans!

OUR CHALLENGE TO YOU

FROM A MACRO LEVEL Focus on the Level 10 Happiness (from TMM) and rate your current state between 1-10.

1. Fitness: By now we all know the benefits of managing a healthy diet and fitness routine. The tricky part is staying motivated
2. Career: Figure out what makes you unhappy about where you are in your career and what changes you can make that would make you happy.
3. Financial: have money left over after paying expenses, maintain ample savings, are on track with retirement funds and have a strong credit score, among other factors.
4. Family/Friends: Based on the status of your relationship with your family or friends, you can define goals that will make both parties happier.
5. Spiritual: includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life.
6. Fun: Have you ever dreamed of quitting your job and traveling the world? Or maybe you always wanted to learn how to play the piano? Regardless of what you consider fun or adventurous, I am sure you have come up with at least one excuse to not pursue it. Money? Not enough vacation time?
7. Giving: do some soul searching to discover what causes or charities touch your heart the most. Don't forget, you don't need to donate money to contribute, you can donate your time and a helping hand as well.
8. Physical Environment: You don't have to invest in changing your entire home or work environment to meet the demands of Feng Shui. But it is important to figure out what surroundings make you feel comfortable or productive. Maybe you need more lighting, so open the blinds. Perhaps you need less lighting, so buy some blackout drapes. Sometimes the smallest tweak to your physical environment can go a long way.
9. Personal Development: personal development more as mental growth.
10. Romance/Marriage: things you can do to help improve your relationship. All couples are different, so what works for friends or co-workers, won't necessarily work for you and your significant other.
